New series on BBC 2: Coastal Path

In this new BBC series, explorer Paul Rose tells the story of the South West Coast Path.

At 630 miles, it's England's longest National Trail and one of the world's best loved walks. A third of the South West Coast Path is owned and cared for by the National Trust. Much of the beloved land features in the new BBC TV series, which starts on Friday 18 November 2016.

Explorer Paul Rose sets off on the walk of a lifetime - 630 miles of the South West Coast Path. Over the course of five episodes he'll discover wildlife, traditions and adventure at every turn.

Paul will be learning about the path's history, industry, wildlife and traditions as well as meeting the people who live and work along the way, including many of the people that work at the National Trust. Paul spent time at the Lizard, wildlife watching and at the Hawker's Hut with Ranger Jeff.

One of the most unusual buildings along the South West Coast Path is Hawker’s Hut. It's also the smallest National Trust property. It was built from timbers retrieved from shipwrecks by the eccentric clergyman, Reverend Robert Hawker in the 1800s.
